About Me

Our Engagement Picture

Missoni loves New York!

This is the little onesie we got Missoni in NYC when her cousins were here! And Don't you just love the matching bows?

Mommy and ME!

We got Missoni into Mommy and me at around 3 months. Look how big her eyes got when we turned off the lights.

This is a more recent pict of Missoni!

Here is Missoni at 17 months.

Missoni loved her worm and her swing!

Missoni before church!

Missoni at the pool!

Missoni and Baylee at the pool at the Davie ward's going away party in May of 2007.

Missoni starting to eat food!

As I am sure that you all know she never really liked eating, and still would rather have something other than sweet potatoes.

Missoni and Mommy!

Missoni trying to crawl.

She learned to roll over at 4 months. But she couldn't get back onto her back form her belly. So she would just lay there and beg us to help her. She started sitting up really well at 6 months.

Missoni loved laying in her dads arms!

Missoni has always slept best on or next to us! We don't mind, we love it!

We were already in Syracuse by this time!

I loved her in this outfit!

Missoni's new swim suit. We had to get her a two peice because she was so long and wide that we couldn't find a one peice taht would fit her right. I know it shows too much skin, but isn't she adorable?

Missoni around 5 months.

So we lost our camera when Missoni was around 6 months old!

With that we lost about 4 1/2 months to 6 months we were sad. Luckily we have some good friends that had taken some pictures of her during this time. So these ones are from that.

Missoni 3 mths

Missoni first day in the pool!

Alice and I drove the girls over to visit auntie Sabs and this was the first time that they both got into the pool. Arn't they cute?

Missoni in her size 6 mths swimsuit!

She was only 3 months here and and you can see she already needed a bigger swimming suit! What a cutie!

She could already hold a rattle!

Missoni loved when Baylee came over to play!

I am not too sure Baylee was having too much fun though!

Lisa and Colin.

These are Missoni and I's best friends! We loved Mommy and Me!

She loves to smile!

I just love Missoni's smile. She was already a pro at 2 months!

Oh how I love her!

She is my little french baby! I always loved putting her in this french beret!

Missoni meets Auntie Sabs!

This was the first time Missoni met Sab. We drove over to Bonita Springs on the west coast of Florida to see her. It was a fun day. This was also the first time Missoni went into the pool. She was about 7 weeks old. Now she is a complete water baby. She can't get enough!

Baby Missoni sleeping...

Awwww so precious!

Missoni's blessing lunch!

All of the the Allen women!

We went to Orlando Temple!

Chris and I were sealed to eachother and then to Missoni in the Orlando Temple. I have no words to describe the wonders of the temple and how we felt on this day. They brought Missoni in to the sealing room in her white dress and the entire room burst into tears. Even people who had come into view the sealing that didn't know us were crying. It was amazing. My mom and dad were there, Chris' bro, Les and his wife Kim, and Tiff and Brock. It was a very special day. I love my family so much and so grateful for the great sealing power of the temple.

Papa flew in and met Missoni for the 1st time!

Papa and Missoni both fell right asleep. She loved laying on him. She slept very soundly and peacefully! It was so cute.

This is the first time Jordan held Missoni!

Jordan and Missoni are good friends! This was fun for Missoni to meet her cousins!

Missoni tried out this swing at Baylee's house.

We went out and bought it that day. Missoni was crying when we would lay her down. So we thought she needed something to swing her and entertain her. She liked it sometimes, but always preferred mommy, daddy or Grandma's.

We had Missoni blessed the next day after the Sealing.

It was also a great day. Brandi and Gary and the kids came down for that as well as everyone that was at the sealing. We had a nice dinner afterwards at Brocks and Tiffs. I have very many fond memories of that weekend.

Missoni in her Blessing Dress!

Missoni was blessed on March 4, 2007. It was a joyous day. She was blessed by her dad. It was a beautiful blessing.

This is the Orlando Temple!

Isn't is gorgeous? I just love it!

Mama and baby!

This is my family!

Thanks Mom and dad and Tiff and Brock for coming to Orlando and supporting us!

We love Chihuly!

This is Chris and I back at the Botanical Gardens. We love it there.

Missoni and Mom!

Missoni at the blessing lunch. Oh Missoni, don't be so dramatic!

Missoni got so fat so fast!

I just love this picture. It really shows how quickly Missoni put on the weight. She was only 2 months here and just a big ball. I loved it! I love big babies!

Missoni was such a cutie! Especially in this darling little outfit.

Everyone was so generous and giving to us at our shower and afterwards. Missoni had everything her heart could ever desire. We were a very blessed family.

We went back to Chihuly!

My mom, Ingrid, Chris, Les, Missoni and I all went back to the Chilhuly glass exhibit at the botanical gardens in the Coral Gables. I was a very fun day! Missoni was about 1 month old.

This is Chris' family!

There was one addition made in Jan 08. But thankyou to the Thompson family for your love and support!

This was our 1st wedding Anniversary!

It was Feb 10th, and I wasn't really up for celibrating. I wouldn't eat the cake because I wanted to lose the baby fat. So I got to sit and watch Chris eat the chocolate decadence on my first anniversary!!

This is our little family right after the sealing!

We had so much love and support that day!

Daddy loved this BYU dress! Too bad it said 6 months on it and it only fit her until 6 weeks.

She was already such a chubby girl

Sealed for all time and eternity!

Chris and I were sealed on March 3, 2007. I don't who made it to our wedding but whoever was at that and then went to our sealing would surely have seen the difference. It was a very special day!

Sleeping on daddy chest.

Oh how she loved to sleep on daddy's chest! She was just over a week old here!

Her first sunday at church!

This day we took her to Alice's baby Baylee's blessing at church. She was about 2 weeks old.

Boy meets girl in South Florida!

This is the Thompson Family love story. We should have started our blog a long time ago. So to make up for it, I am going to start back to the time I met Chris and move forward to now! Enjoy reading about our love story and how we are now doing as we make the LONG journey through Law School in Syracuse, New York! We now have a wonderful, beautiful busy 18 month old. We love her and she is the light of our lives!

We had a wonderful time down in South Florida......

We loved living in Ft. Lauderdale. Chris and I had nothing but a shabby studio apartment when we got married, but we loved it. It was so nice to see Chris ever day, while I finished up my degree at the Art Institute. He was working for Franklin Templeton and I was so busy with my thesis but we still found time to get away to the Botanical Gardens in the Gables, and Naples on the west coast. We had so much fun together our first year of marriage. Maybe too much fun, thats when I found out I was pregnant about 3 months after being married, with the biggest blessing in our life, Missoni, our gorgeous, lovely baby girl.

All because two people fell in love!

Wedding Day

Colin is her true love!

This was her secon visit from Colin. She was about a week old here and he was 2 3/4 months here. He looks huge here compared to her, but don't worry she caught up to him fast!

Oh isn't she sweet!

My two loves. Missoni and Daddy instantly fell in love too!

She now prefers him over me! and cries when he leaves!

She was a week old! It was so fun!

Missoni was such a precious baby! She was so good and easy. I am so lucky to have her. Sometimes she would cry in the evenings but we found out that I was eating too much cottage cheese and it was making her gassy and have a tummy ache!

First picture with Grandma Judy!

This was the first time she met Baylee at the hospital!

She did a blow out in her diaper and it shot out all over Baylee's bed! The girls are so cute!

Daddy and Missoni in the hospital!

She was one day old!

This is her first bath. She already had curly hair and so much of it.

She was already so chubby too! This was just 4 days old!

First time Oma held Missoni!

Oma came the first day that Missoni was born and brought some beautiful flowers!

Then grandma Judy arrived by day 2 and put her in her little french beret!

I loved that hat!

Mommy and baby! First Picture together!

Isn't she the most amazing little baby girl? She came 2 1/2 weeks early, and weighed in at 8.7 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long! What a cutie!

Papa came too! He loved getting a little grandaughter!

It was a fun day having them there!

And then she came! Our little angel!

This was the first picture ever taken of her! Soooo cute. I love her!

Chris took me to Black Eyed Peas Concert!

We had a lot of fun in Florida!

Chris took me to the ballet!

It was wonderful! Chris and I love the ballet!

This was the sunset in Naples!

We loved Namples, we were at the Ritz and Chris told them that he had just proposed there, so they gave us a bunch of free gourmet chocolate!

Graduation and Thesis

What a wonderful Day!

Art and Graduation

I graduated from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale in March, 2006. I am now and Interior Designer and worked for a very established and wonderful Italian kitchen company for over a year until we moved to New York. Here is my thesis and some graduation pictures.

So we were living in Florida up until Missoni was 5 mnths old. Chris was working and I was working from home. We knew that it was important for Chris to go back to school and get his graduate degree. Chris had been applying to several schools, and we didn't know where we would end up. He was accepted into several, but he had always wanted to get his dual Law and International Relations degree from Syracuse, New York. I was very supportive of this desire, as I had forgotten how cold it gets up in New York. It has been a great opportunity for us, the school is great. We moved up her on July 5 2007. I do miss the weather in FLorida, but I get to go and visit a lot. I also miss all of my old friends. But we are meeting a lot of new faces and getting to have great opportunities up here.
